On October 24, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of
New York filed a libel against 63 cartons of butter at New York, N. Y., alleging
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 9,
1941, by the David Park Co. from Bemidji, Minn.; and charging that it was adul-
terated in that a product containing less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat
had been substituted for butter. The article was labeled in part: "Distributors
Zenith-Godley Co. N. Y. * * * 60 Lbs. Net Butter."

tions of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was
ordered released under bond to be reworked under the supervision of the Food
and Drug Administration so that it contain 80 percent of milk fat.
